Tens of thousands of corpses, tens of thousands of weapons and various siege equipment discarded by the Tartars... all need to be cleaned up by the Tiger and Leopard Army, who had just defeated the Tartars. This book is made by

Therefore, when the battlefield was cleaned up, there were no other traces of combat except for the blood of the Tartars everywhere. And almost five days had passed.

Just as the various departments of the Tiger and Leopard Army were busy replenishing losses, restoring training, and summarizing battlefield experience, Zhou Shuyuan, the busiest steward of the Tiger and Leopard Army, rushed into Wei Zheng's residence with a look of surprise on his face.

Before Wei Zheng could speak, he shouted with anticipation: "General, the court has come, and the leader is still an eunuch in the palace. If nothing unexpected happens, the good news of our defeat of the Tartars again has reached the capital. The emperor must have sent someone to reward our Tiger and Leopard Army."

Among the entire Tiger and Leopard Army, the one who values ​​the most to the court is undoubtedly the military advisor standing in front of him.

After all, Zhou Shuyuan was not an ordinary person, but a scholar who had been educated by the court for decades. The orthodox dominance of the Ming Dynasty was deeply rooted in his heart, and no change could be made in a short period of time.

As for the reason why military advisor Zhou Shuyuan joined the Tiger and Leopard Army without hesitation a few months ago, it was because life was forced to survive. Now, the Tiger and Leopard Army has been recognized by the court and has become an official, and he has also become an official of the court. Faced with this situation, Wei Zheng can say with certainty that this is definitely the result that the military advisor in front of him wants to see the most.

However, Wei Zheng knew in his heart that joining a court that was about to perish is definitely not the way out for him and the entire Tiger and Leopard Army. Therefore, when facing various rewards from the court, Wei Zheng always showed a look of not saying a word. He did not show too much happiness or disgust. After all, he currently has to rely on the banner of the court.

Therefore, seeing the excited expression from the bottom of Zhou Shuyuan's face, Wei Zheng's first thought was not what kind of reward the court would give him. But how to find a way to change Zhou Shuyuan's attitude towards the court in front of him, so that he no longer trusts the court, give up on the court, and follow him completely becomes a heart.

However, what Wei Zheng did not expect was that Zhou Shuyuan could not speak because of excitement and shock.

Facing himself in a daze and contemplative manner, Zhou Shuyuan spoke again...

"General, the imperial envoy from the court has arrived at the gate of Muguyu. Let's go and welcome it! According to my estimate, with this military achievements, you can at least become a fourth-rank official in the court. We brothers will definitely follow you and take this opportunity to increase our position."

Although his future is not in the court, if he wants to grow and grow, he really must rely on the big tree of the court. After a brief contemplation, Wei Zheng neither expressed his affirmation nor objection to Zhou Shuyuan's words. Under Zhou Shuyuan's gaze full of longing eyes, he answered in a faint tone.

"Since that's the case, let's go and see what kind of reward the court has given us."

"Fengtian inherits the fortune, the emperor... was appointed Wei Zheng as the Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei... In order to cooperate with the border army to recover lost territories, counterattack the Tatars... specially appointed Wei Zheng as the deputy general officer of Zunhua, assist the general general of Zunhua, recover Zunhua as soon as possible, and promote the power of our Ming army... I admire this."

After the eunuch recited the imperial edict in his hand with a sharp voice, there was no fluctuation on Wei Zheng's calm face.

However, Zhou Shuyuan was not so calm around him. The eunuch who read the imperial edict had just left, and he shouted to Wei Zheng with excitement: "General, it's really unexpected that the rewards from the court are so heavy, so you can directly hold two positions. What's more important is that these two official positions are both third-rank officials of the court. Now it seems that the decision of General, you brought everyone to the court was right. Otherwise, the brothers would not have become official troops, and they were officers whom I never dared to think about before..."

Just as everyone's passionate eyes slowly gathered on Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng's next move not only shocked everyone, but also made everyone's complex expressions of confusion and suspicion appear on their faces.

As everyone watched, Wei Zheng shook his head unexpectedly. Then he replied to everyone: "Brothers, the reward from the court in front of him is definitely not that simple..."

"Look at it seriously, our Tiger and Leopard Army has no backstage in the court and has not given money to the high officials in the capital. In this case, how could the court promote us in an extraordinary way? Is it really just because we defeated Dorgon again and eliminated tens of thousands of enemies?"

Zhou Shuyuan, who had not yet fully understood the degree of the political struggle of the court, asked with confusion, "General, isn't it? Isn't it natural for the court to reward us for such great military achievements?"

At this time, a sarcastic expression flashed from Wei Zheng's face. He replied to Zhou Shuyuan and everyone: "If the court can really reward all achievements and punish all mistakes, our Ming Dynasty will not be corrupt to this point, and the court will not allow the Tartars to run wildly on the land of our Ming Dynasty and robbery at will..."

Zhou Shuyuan, who still had a glimmer of hope for the court, asked with a full face of suspicion: "General, are you too worried? The Tatars attacked the pass and the cavalry ran outside Beijing. In addition, the court is now the time to hire people. At such a critical moment, are they still dare to make trouble, so are they not afraid of the country being destroyed?"

When Wei Zheng heard the word "destroyed" in his heart, he wanted to say that the Ming Dynasty, which had been glorious for hundreds of years, was destroyed in the hands of these people.

However, Wei Zheng still resisted the impulse in his heart and said to everyone in a calm tone as possible: "Look at it, things are definitely not as simple as everyone imagined. Maybe, it won't take long to come, the answer will be revealed. At that time, the crisis facing our Tiger and Leopard Army may be even more dangerous than when facing tens of thousands of Tartars."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng's calm face quickly became serious, and he ordered to Wang Feng whom he trusted the most: "Captain Wang, immediately arrange some trustworthy brothers to closely monitor the imperial envoys who entered our Mu Mu Yu. I always feel that there are more than a dozen of these people... "

One night later, Wang Feng came to the General's Mansion where Wei Zheng was with a mysterious face. After seeing Wei Zheng, he was like a spy, and reported with a mysterious face: "General, you are so wise. These envoys sent by the court did have a conspiracy."

"According to reports from my brothers whom I sent to monitor them, these people have never been at peace since they moved into our Mushroom Yu."

"What did they all do?" Wei Zheng frowned and asked Wang Feng.

"General, judging from what I have learned so far, there are two main things they are doing."

"The first thing is to use various means to understand the true strength of our Tiger and Leopard Army."

"In the past few days, several imperial envoys have investigated the true strength of our Tiger and Leopard Army by chatting with their brothers. In addition, there are people who want to sneak to the weapons workshop behind us to see how our new muskets were made. Fortunately, we have already set up guards in the weapons workshop and stopped them, and did not reveal the secret of our new muskets."

"Secondly, these envoys from the court actually used silver notes to bribe our officers in our Tiger and Leopard Army camp and dismantle us from the inside. As far as I know, there is now a battalion commander, three team leader, and five platoon leader who have collected these envoys used to bribe their silver notes."

Speaking of this, a hint of hatred quickly appeared on Wang Feng's face, and he cursed with anger, "These damn imperial officials thought they were really giving us rewards on behalf of the court. Unexpectedly, they did something that was unfavorable to our Tiger and Leopard Army. You know, the Tartars in Zunhua are still staring at us with great enthusiasm?"

"Now, isn't that pushing us to death..."

"It's true that I didn't expect..." Wei Zheng's solemn face slowly showed a sudden enlightenment on his face.

He analyzed to Wang Feng in front of him: "Investigating the true strength of our Tiger and Leopard Army must be the court to prepare for their next move. After all, we have defeated the Tartars several times, and our strength should not be underestimated. No matter how confused the court is, we still know that only knows oneself and oneself."

"As for the officers who bought us, this is the court who digs out our corners again... From the inside, it will dismantle our Tiger and Leopard Army, weaken our Tiger and Leopard Army's strength, and force us to death... Oh my god, these imperial envoys are really sinister, and they can use all the methods that can be used for our Tiger and Leopard Army."

Speaking of this, a murderous aura flashed quickly across Wei Zheng's face. He asked Wang Feng: "Captain Wang, among the officers found by the court envoy, did all the officials who were asked for silver notes? Is there anyone who refuse..."

"There are some people who refuse... According to my statistics, there are three company commanders and four platoon leaders, and there are no cashiers. In addition, there is another company commander who took the cashiers and took the initiative to hand them over to the regiment command center after receiving the cashiers."

"Very good, these people are the real brothers of my Tiger and Leopard Army, and my Wei Zheng's brothers."

"As for those who have collected money but have not handed over, since they love money, don't stay with our Tiger and Leopard Army, go find their masters and live a good life."

"When you go back, you are anxious. After you hand over the silver notes you collected, you will clear out all the Tiger and Leopard Army. When you withdraw from our Tiger and Leopard Army, you cannot bring out Mushrooms except for the travel expenses."

"As for the imperial envoys who were active in our Mutton Yu, since they were willing to give us money, they would let them continue to give it. However, I just ordered that I must send more people to not interrupt their surveillance.

"On the last day, after I go back, I will send someone to call the military advisor immediately. I will discuss with him if I have something important. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't take long to make a conspiracy against our Tiger and Leopard Army, and our Wei Zheng himself, will cover all of us. Therefore, we must prepare in advance."

"Conspiracy..." Wang Feng asked with confusion on his face.
